FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. - Osi Umenyiora still goes online to play video games against his buddy Victor Cruz.Oddly enough, their game of choice is FIFA soccer. Cruz usually takes Manchester United, while Umenyiora prefers either Chelsea or Man City.Im not going to lie. He wins the majority of the time, Cruz said. But I come back when it matters, so Im cool with that.On Sunday, theyll be opponents in that other kind of football, in a game that really matters.Umenyiora, who spent the first decade of his career with the New York Giants, will line up for the first time against his former team as a defensive end for the Atlanta Falcons.It seems downright surreal to everyone involved.Umenyiora was such a key and immensely popular member of the Giants for so long, helping the team to a pair of Super Bowl titles. He made the Pro Bowl twice and had 75 sacks during his tenure with New York, including a career-best 14.5 in 2005.Im excited to see a lot of the familiar faces, Umenyiora said. I was there for 10 years, basically a third of my life, so I met a lot of people, have a lot of good friends there. Most of the good things in my life came from that organization.This certainly isnt a case like Steve Smith, who took such pleasure in beating his former team last week. The Baltimore Ravens receiver had 139 yards receiving and two touchdowns in a 38-10 rout of Carolina, then angrily spouted that the Panthers stabbed me in the back.There are no hard feelings for Umenyiora.I left there on really good terms with everybody, Umenyiora said. So I dont have any of that, I want to come back and kick the Giants in the teeth, stuff like that. Ive got a job to do. Weve got to get back to winning. We have a big one on the road this week. Thats pretty much all Im focused on.Umenyiora, who turns 33 next months, hasnt made much of an impact in his two seasons with the Falcons (2-2). While he had a team-high 7.5 sacks last season, the Falcons struggled to get pressure on the quarterback.This season, hes been demoted to a backup role. Umenyiora has six tackles through the first month of the season and is still looking for his first sack. He looks out of place in the Falcons preferred 3-4 alignment, not quite mobile enough to handle an outside linebacker role, not quite big enough to take an inside spot.Umenyiora hopes hell get an opportunity to go after Giants quarterback Eli Manning, a player who was always hands-off to him in practice when he played for the Giants.Ive never had a chance to get even close to him, Umenyiora said, trying to hold back a smile.He doesnt really recognized these Giants (2-2), who have gone through extensive turnover the last two seasons and this year brought in a new offensive co-ordinator, Ben McAdoo, to install a West Coast-style offence.Manning and the Giants struggled at first with the transition to a system that relies on quick reads and throws, losing their first two games. But theyve scored 75 points the last two weeks, looking particularly impressive in last weeks victory at Washington.If the Falcons tried to pick Umenyioras brain about what to expect from his old team, he wouldnt have much to offer.I dont know this offence at all, so theres nothing Ive been able to give our team, he said. Everything about that team looks different than when I was there.Well, not everything.The Giants still have Cruz, their flashy receiver. And offensive tackle Will Beatty, a player who still speaks fondly of Umenyiora (and vice versa). They all wish they could have stuck together a little longer.To see Osi in a different uniform is unfortunate, Cruz said.Even Tom Coughlin, the Giants hardscrabble coach, sounded a bit moved by the thought of Umenyiora wearing red instead of blue.Its still a little bit sad to see ol Osi over there, Coughlin said. He was such an integral part of our team.Notes: Falcons G Justin Blalock missed practice for the second day in a row. Blalocks absence makes it increasingly likely that Atlanta will have three new starters on the offensive line against the Giants. ... WR Harry Douglas, who didnt play last Sunday against the Vikings because of a foot injury, also missed practice.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 Brian Urlacher Jersey .

Catch all the action on TSN2 and TSN GO at 9pm et/6pm pt. San Antonio took the series lead Monday night with a 122-105 home victory in Game 1. The Spurs used a balanced scoring attack and clamped down defensively late in the third quarter to claim the win. Jim McMahon Jersey . Bjoerndalen, who had failed to win any major race for two years before Sochi, writes in a Facebook entry that he is "full of energy and inspiration" after winning the 10-kilometre sprint and mixed relay at last months Olympics. Dan Hampton Jersey . Mark Teahen scored the go-ahead run in the home seventh on an error by Scott Sizemore, who had knotted the game with a solo homer in the previous half- inning. Paul Konerko then hit an RBI single which proved to be the winning run.Dressed in civvies and a hoodie to hide the damage, a sheepish looking Nigel Reo Coker emerged at training Thursday following his Sunday night stumble. The injury was gruesome, enough to keep the midfielder out of this weekends clash with Houston. The bruise to Reo-Cokers ego and reputation, however, might be more damaging. The former Villa and West Ham recruit has not had a stellar start to 2014. He dazzled once during the season opener beautifully setting up Pedro Moraless first MLS goal in the late stages, but that was a rare foray into the front third. At Chivas, he coughed up the ball in a bad area at a bad time, and the 10 men Goats took full advantage. In addition, against New England he had his pocket picked on a couple of occasions and was fortunate that neither led to a serious goal threat. Being substituted in the 60th and 70th minutes of those last two games was an indictment on his fitness. Youd think with a child on the way and a real opportunity in Vancouver to be the catalyst and a leader in a young squad, that "Reo C" would have come to camp in top shape and perhaps give the Whitecaps something tto think about long term.dddddddddddd At 29-years-old, hes still young, hes the box to box midfielder the Caps need, and he has some excellent supporting characters around him. But he didnt come to camp in shape, and in a simple one-on-one drill at the beginning of last week, he was badly exposed by a potential replacement in young Canadian Bryce Alderson. For all his bluster, Reo Coker has been put in his place, by an inanimate object no less. It might have been his manager sending the message, but now Carl Robinson has been let off the hook by having that decision made for him. What happens from here will define Reo Cokers future in Vancouver. He might view this injury/incident as the motivation needed to put his head down, get fit and let his game do the talking. The alternative will look all too familiar to keen observers of the British Bulldogs career; a departure with questions asked and unanswered followed by a new beginning somewhere else. I for one, hope its the former because its easy to like Nigel Reo Coker the person. Its even easier to like Nigels game when its at its very best.
